Benefits of technology

[0009]Another object of the present invention is to provide a health management system which allows various data concerning a measurement of the body fat percentage to be analyzed from a specialized viewpoint based on a communication with a large-scale aggregation

Problems solved by technology

However, since these body fat meters are, with an exception of the integral type one incorporated into a weight measuring scale, exclusive machines for measuring a body fat percentage and are not used for any other uses, there is a problem that a certain place has to be prepared for keeping it.
In addition, some of these body fat meters are too large to be
